On your own vs Induction

I have GD and will go in to do a membrane sweep on Wednesday, I'll be 38w5d. At that appt we will set up induction, but hopefully she will come on her own before then. With my first I had a membrane sweep, contractions started about 8hrs later, and she was in my arms 20hra after sweep. It happened so fast. My question is, has anyone had a quick first labor and induction with there 2nd? Did it still go quick for you? Nervous about induction because of how slow and how long labor can be

I had an induction with my DD (dear daughter) I was in labor for 12 hours and it was a breeze...this time my induction date is Tuesday and I'm hoping it's the same as last time..I'm having twin girls so hopefully it all goes smoothly

With my son, after being induced I had him 6 hours later. I wasn't dilated any before being admitted, they put cervadil in me for a few hours, I dilated to about a 3 and then was induced at 7am. He was born at 1:30p

With my previous pregnancies my labors were 4 hrs & 2 hrs which both started on their own and i didn't have any pain medication. This time around I'm getting induced on Sept 29th and I'm super nervous because of how different it can be. I'm hoping since its my third that my body will kick into gear quick.

I am hoping the same thing. I've never been away from my daughter for very long. Shes 15 months. I don't want to be in labor for days like some of the stories Ive heard!

I’m getting induced then too! After my natural labors (well I’m a baby and had epis). Not going to lie I’m nervous!

My epidural wore off right when it was time to push and they couldn't give me more because they said my legs would be numb and wouldn't be able to push right. It sucked! Hoping it works the whole time for this one!

Your growing child

Your 2-week-old

Your baby probably loves to be held, caressed, kissed, stroked, massaged, and carried. He may even make an "ah" sound when he hears your voice or sees your face, and he'll be eager to find you in a crowd.

Your 4-week-old

Your baby may gurgle, coo, grunt, and hum to express his feelings. A few babies also begin squealing and laughing. Be sure to coo and gurgle back, and talk to your baby face to face. He'll enjoy holding your gaze now.
